This week, coinciding with the launch of Go! (our fun, new entertainment guide) and some much-needed housekeeping on the Entertainment channel of STLtoday.com, I started a viral video feature. It's in its infancy right now -- it lives on a tabbed module in the middle column of the entertainment homepage. But the idea is that I will post a new video each day.
Ideally, we'll develop an actual blog on the site, so you can see each video I feature over time. But until that happens, I'll keep track of them here -- and feature a few extras that don't exactly meet the family-newspaper standards.
Oh, and, while I'm thinking about it, you should follow Go! on Twitter. We'll keep you informed about fun things to do in the St. Louis area. Also, if you're into such things, sign up for our Go! Sneak Peek. Every Thursday, we'll send you an e-mail preview of what we're working on for Go!
Just in time for the Democratic National Convention! I got linked to this video a few weeks ago and thought it was pretty brilliant. And with the DNC upon us, people started passing it around again.
Clearly, someone had far too much time on their hands (says the kettle). But it's still pretty amazing.
The creator explains how he made it here: hmatkin.blogspot.com/
A little something to mark Michael Jackson's 50th(!) birthday -- his Pepsi commercial from the 1980s.
In this gem from one of my favorite new sites, funnyordie.com, the pretty and talented Kristin Chenoweth confirms what we always suspected: Bad things sound better when you sing them.
This just in: Paris Hilton isn't just a pretty face. She's also, apparently, been tossed into the presidential race.
In her video response to John McCain's negative campaign ad -- in which she was referenced as a celebrity without substance -- she gracefully accepts the nomination and pitches her ideas for change once she's moved into the White House.
Loves it.
